O'Reilly Releases Book about CD Publishing

Article excerpt

O'Reilly & Associates has announced the release of Electronic Publishing on CD-ROM, a guide to both the technical and operational aspects of CD-ROM publishing. Because CD-ROMs are inexpensive to manufacture, store, and ship, publishing has become a more democratic activity--CD-ROM titles are being developed by small "garage" startups as well as by established media companies.

Electronic Publishing on CD-ROM begins with an overview of the CD-ROM development process, from initial product planning through final production of the CD-ROM image. It examines examples and alternatives for the design, authoring, manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of CD-ROMs. In addition, it provides detailed information on the costs of CD-ROM publishing projects--staff, manufacturing, and phases of development.
